The driving systems of your vehicle are de-
scribed on the following pages:

앫

Cruise control, with which the vehicle 
can maintain a preset speed.

앫

Hill start assist system which helps you 
to start off smoothly on a hill.

For information on the ABS, Adaptive 
Brake, BAS, EBP, ESP

, and 4MATIC, see 

The cruise control automatically maintains 
the speed you set for your vehicle.

The use of the cruise control is recom-
mended for driving at a constant speed for 
extended periods of time. 

You can set or resume the cruise control at 
any speed over 20 mph (30 km/h). 

The cruise control function is operated by 
means of the cruise control lever.

G

The cruise control is a convenience system 

designed to assist the driver during vehicle 

operation. The driver is and must always 

remain responsible for the vehicle’s speed 

and for safe brake operation.

Only use the cruise control if the road, 

traffic, and weather conditions make it 

advisable to travel at a steady speed.

앫

The use of the cruise control can be 
dangerous on winding roads or in heavy 
traffic because conditions do not allow 
safe driving at a steady speed.

앫

The use of the cruise control can be 
dangerous on slippery roads. Rapid 
changes in tire traction can result in 
wheel spin and loss of control.

앫

Deactivate the cruise control when 
driving in fog.

The “Resume” function should only be 

operated if the driver is fully aware of the 

previously set speed and wishes to resume 

this particular preset speed.

G

The cruise control brakes automatically so 

that the set speed is not exceeded. The 

brake pedal depresses when the cruise con-

trol engages the brakes.

Keep driver’s foot area clear at all times, in-

cluding the area under the brake pedal. Ob-

jects stored in this area may impair pedal 

movement which could interfere with the 

braking ability of the cruise control system.

Do not place your foot under the brake pedal 

– your foot could become caught.

Keep in mind that the cruise control is a con-

venience system designed to assist the driv-

er during vehicle operation. The driver is and 

must always remain responsible for the ve-

hicle’s speed and for safe brake operation.
